Destiny: You Must Construct Additional Content
[As Destiny's final piece finishes off the game, I thought I'd compare and contrast what I wrote after playing the original (or "Vanilla") release of Destiny, prior to any DLC releases, with what the game's like now. If nothing else, this part is a nice, nostalgic look back what we had with Dinklebot]

Scariest Moments In Nintendo Games
People have this weird desire to take pleasant, happy memories, and twist them into some of the scariest moments of our lives. Nintendo has a close spot in many gamers' hearts. Maybe the NES was your first console, or you grew up with the Wii. Nintendo is an omnipresent presence in the lives of children around the world. Mario, Link, Pikachu- they're like old friends.

Legacy of King's Quest In Modern Gaming
There are some game series that really change the way that gamers experience their hobby. Zork, being the first text-based RPG, was one of the first programs to allow people to play games on a real computer rather than an arcade machine or a video game set.

Mass Effect Andromeda Review
Released: March 21, 2017 Genre: Third-Person RPS First Impression: "Jesus, are those the faces?" The first modern video game I played was the original Mass Effect, around ten years ago now. Since then the title's exploded, with sequels, books, merch, and the like following in the wake of its success. But the trouble with ongoing, consistent success is complacency--and you can see where that got the designers of Mass Effect 3, with its lame (original) ending barely bothering to acknowledge the amount of effort you put in to the entire damn game. That being said, I still played through Mass Effect 3 like... 4 or 5 times, one after the other, using different characters--and therefore different choices--each time. This, I thought, was the strongest point of the Mass Effect games: where its sister title Dragon Age abandoned the idea of carrying over choices and progress from previous titles at "Dragon Age 2: Errands in Town", Mass Effect kept with it.

10+1 Dungeon Master Tips From The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
Inspiration for the Dungeon Master is as great a necessity as a full health / mana bar is for your video game character; without it, there just ain’t much you’re gonna get done. DMs should have a high (passive) perception skill to notice all the places where inspiration may be found. For me, that includes video games.
